< Anatomy of a Murder >-- The truth is never clear

Although I did not watch a lot of James Stewart movies,
I think most of them are really heart-warming and inspiring,
such as <It's a wonderful life> and <Mr.Smith goes to Washington>.
However, <Anatomy of a murder> is kind of different...
Undeniably, there are a lot of funny moments in this serious court theme movie,
but generally, it gives me a feeling about the darkness of the reality
and the irony of the judicial system.

What I love the most about this movie is that it points out the absurdity 
of the judicial system through little hints.
One of them is when the judge tells the juries to disregard certain testimony,
Paul Biegler's  (James Stewart) client, Lt. Frederick Manion asks him:
"How can a jury disregard what it's already heard?"
He answers: "They can't, lieutenant. They can't."
Another one comes from Biegler's partner, Parnell Emmett McCarthy,
when they are waiting for the final result from the jury.
He says: "Twelve people go off into a room: twelve different minds, 
twelve different hearts, from twelve different walks of life; 
twelve sets of eyes, ears, shapes, and sizes. 
And these twelve people are asked to judge another human being 
as different from them as they are from each other. 
And in their judgment, they must become of one mind - unanimous. 
It's one of the miracles of Man's disorganized soul that they can do it, 
and in most instances, do it right well. God bless juries."
The design of the judicial system aims to give everyone a fair chance 
to defend oneself in the court,
but I think human beings are not really reliable.
It is easy for us to be influenced by people's appearances, how they dress, how they talk,
or maybe just our personal feelings towards that person...
So how is it possible for twelve strangers from around the country
to decide whether this person is guilty or not? 
Even the people who are doing the investigation can hardly find out the truth,
how can the juries, who are just listening?
I think this is a very interesting question to think about.
In the same time, this system seems to be the best among others.
Unless we can establish some other kind of system that 
proves to be more accurate and fair...
(In conclusion, it's hard)

The ending also puzzles me, because it is so open-ended.
There are so many questions that the movie does not answer.
I try to figure out my own explanation, but I guess I need to watch this 
over and over again to try to find out some more key elements!
This is definitely a movie that makes you examine so many things in all the directions!
If you like court theme movie, check this out, you won't be disappointed!!
